I'm excited to share with you and the world that I have released my first official music video!
The song is "Music", which was recorded over in Sweden and released on my Kriztina Åhs & Countryfied project, but the video itself was recorded in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I wrote the song about the feeling, thrill and magic of enjoying - you guessed it! - music.
I hope you find it as enjoyable to watch and listen to as it was for me to sing it.
One is crazy cute and adorable - talking 'bout videos for goodness sakes! - and the other is a crazy kind of lonely captured in a song. The latter does offer a solution and a reflection on our own responsibility for our situations though (found in the last line of verse two. Lyrics provided).
Kriz Rogers wrote this song when going through a divorce. She performed it live with her band Countryfied at the Swedish Masters of Country Music in September of 2008.
Driving Me Crazy
Lyrics - Copyright Kriz Rogers
The ones I loved before gave me what I asked for
A bunch of lies and heartaches that made me walk the floor.
But, they were honest, told the truth 'bout what they did so I knew.
What a difference it was, not anything like you.
Driving me crazy
To the edge of the world.
My heart is not driven in a way it deserves.
Living by anger - praying for love.
Driving me crazy
to the edge of the world.
At times I touch the sky. Countless days I crawl on ground
so dirty it's like darkness there maybe I belong.
But I'm not stupid, I can see if I stay here I do me wrong.
There's no one who'll rescue me: not anyone but me.
